Jeremy Kerr is a Linux and open source systems developer, working on the Linux kernel, drivers, firmware and related plumbing, embedded firmware, and a little hardware development too.
Jeremy is the owner of Code Construct - a small consultancy developing in the open source and embedded-systems area, based in Australia. Previously, he has worked for IBM's Linux technology center on their POWER server platforms, and Canonical's hardware enablement team.
Jeremy's first contribution to the Linux kernel was accepted on the 23rd of February, 2004. His second was a fix, for that same piece of code, on the 24th of February, 2004.
Open source platform communication with MCTP
The Management Controller Transport Protocol (MCTP) defines a mostly-hardware-neutral way of messaging between components of an embedded platform. There has been a lot happening in MCTP support for Linux recently, as well as infrastructure and libraries for use in non-Linux embedded systems too.
This talk covers the current status of MCTP support in the upstream Linux kernel, what hardware transport options are available, plus other facilities useful for incorporating MCTP into an open source firmware stack.
